Buffy Bargain!

[rebcake]

I have been coveting Buffy: The Chosen Collection on DVD ever since MiAmor started bringing home beat-up used versions of individual seasons, like a cat showing off a succession of dead birds. I praise him every time and appreciate the gesture, but I realized that eventually we would have 2-3 copies of every season and no shelf space. But coveting in rebcake-world doesn't mean shelling out $200, either.

Today, while I was cruising around, cursing the lack of e-mails coming from LJ, I discovered an amazing bargain! DeepDiscountDVD.com has it for $81.59, free shipping, as of (updated) today, Wednesday, Nov. 26. Update: Price war! It looks as if Amazon.com is ready to duke it out, and is offering it for $70, free shipping on Friday, November 21 only. It's possible that everybody on my F-list already has this little baby, or could care less, or hates commercialism, or lives overseas and will curse me for teasing them. Completely understandable. Still, I love a bargain, and I'm sharing!

More importantly, when-oh-when will we have our e-mail notifications back? It's been days, and it's annoying. I'm glad this didn't happen during seasonal_spuffy, but still! If I haven't replied to any comments, it's because I didn't get 'em yet (and probably never will). Sheesh!

Update, redux: The e-mail notifications are coming again! I'll won't get any from comments made between 8AM PST Tuesday and 11:25AM PST today (Friday), but it should be okay going forward.

Why are you not getting your email notifications? As far as I know, I'm getting all of mine.

Because LJ has:

Known Issues

* LiveJournal recently relocated its servers from California to Montana. While this move went smoothly, a few minor problems remain:

* Outbound email to AT&T/Yahoo, Hotmail, and AOL is currently blocked or delayed. LiveJournal is working with these providers to have our new IP address whitelisted.

This minor problem is a royal pain. I keep checking back, but they just continue to add services that are NOT working correctly. Harrumph! I haven't received any notifications since before 8AM PST Tuesday.

Anyway, I hope I haven't left any of your comments unanswered. I'm sure it will all be better tomorrow.

I hope it's fixed now. And it's all very odd. I get my email notifications to my yahoo! account and they seem to have been arriving fine.

Okay! My e-mail notifications are coming, as of 11:25AM PST!
